Dear [David]:
I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered your letter dated [7, December] sooner, but when I have told you the reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your letter arrived, I was just in [Hong Kong]. As my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret.
I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when I see you next.
Yours,

Dear James,
In today’s newspa-pe-r, I read about the recent events in your town and I am writing to extend my deepest condolences.
It broke my heart to see all those pictures of those whose homes have been destroyed in the tragic hurricane. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a little girl crying on the roof of her house asking for help. I am really worried about you and your family, and all your friends there. I am crossing my fingers for you now in hopes that you are all safe and sound.
I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you, and I want to extend to you my unwavering support. Our government and many nongovernmental organizations are initiating various campaigns to urge people to donate money and necessary things to send to America. I donated all my allowance that I have been saving for years.
I feel extremely sorry for this tragedy, and I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Please pamy concern on to your parents.
Yours sincerely,
Meng Fei

dear bill,
what shocking news to me when i was told by mr. lewis that you could not pass the entrance
examination. this means you have to wait for another year to attend the next entrance examination.
i quite understand how you feel now. still you have many more chances to try. so i hope that you
will not take this to heart, and will get ready to try again. i am sure you will easily succeed next
time.
yours,
elizabeth

Dear [Mrs. Harper],
I would like to express my sorrow at the recent death of your [husband].
In the long time it was my privilege to enjoy [Professor of Harper]’s friendship. I found [him] a since and helpful associate, with whom it was a pleasure [to work].
The knowledge that my thoughts are with you at his time will, I hope, be of some comfort to you.
Truly yours
写给受伤的人的慰问信要尽量简短、中肯。信中不必查问事故是怎么发生的，是谁的过错，或有无见证人;而应表达你听到友人受伤后的难过心情，以及希望他不久就能痊愈等等。换言之，你关心的不是事故的前前后后，而应该是受伤者的身体和恢复情况。
